BURGER KING - "WHOPPER BLACKOUT"

Awards

Between 1997 and 2012, Burger King pulled out of France. That’s a fact. But the rest of this “mockumentary” is fiction, as French Whopper fans stage protests, buy in bulk and riot when BK outlets close. Whopper addicts fall into depression and go to dramatic lengths to get their fix, even turning to a shadowy network of underground burger dealers. One air hostess admits to being a Whopper “mule”. Finally, there is celebration as Burger King returns. But the French will never forget the dark days of the Whopper Blackout.
